Stuffed zucchini is a versatile dish popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Italian cuisines. This dish features hollowed-out zucchini filled with a savory mixture of ingredients such as ground meat, vegetables, rice, herbs, and spices, often baked until tender. Variations may include vegetarian versions with quinoa, lentils, or cheese for added flavor and texture. Stuffed zucchini is a nutrient-dense option, as zucchini itself is low in calories and rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants. The added filling can provide protein, fiber, and healthy fats, depending on the choice of ingredients. However, richer versions with excessive cheese or fatty meat may increase calorie and fat content, so opting for lean proteins and whole grains keeps it lighter. Whether served as a main dish or an appetizer, stuffed zucchini offers a delicious and balanced combination of flavors and nutrients, making it a wholesome addition to any meal plan.
